A Victron 5,000W inverter/charger supports the system, with 2 12V start batteries new 9/2025 and 4 Aqualuma 12-series Gen 4 blue LED underwater lights at the transom.

Conor moved to the Virgin Islands to pursue a career as a professional captain. One of his deliveries put him on an Outremer 5x with sailing legend Jimmy Cornell. Jimmy was preparing his Elcano Voyage, a circumnavigation aboard a fully-electric Outremer 4x, and was looking for crew to join him. After weeks of preparation, the crew set off on the epic voyage. After several challenges, Jimmy decided to cancel the voyage and modify the boat to better serve his interests. This change of plans brought Conor back to the States sooner than expected with a new found passion for renewable technologies. He is excited to be an active member of the Ft. Lauderdale sailing community, and is looking forward to seeing how sustainable technology and sailing continue to intersect.
